With the device and method, ground meat is pumped through an elongated discharge tube into a plastic bag at the bottom of a frustoconical-shaped mold casing. The mold casing cooperates with a pneumatic or air inflatable elastic resilient piston that causes the meat being pumped through the discharge tube to be packed tightly down to a desired texture. As more meat is pumped into the bag and mold c...

Polyurethanes are prepared from a polyol which itselve contains liquid crystalline moieties or which contains dispersed or dissolved liquid crystalline polymers. The use of this polyol is found to provide improved properties to polyurethanes, especially flexible polyurethane foams, which exhibit improved load bearing.

A solution or colloidal dispersion of a polymer of an ethylenically unsaturated steroid derivative in an active hydrogen-containing compound is claimed. The polymer provides improved physical properties to a polyurethane made by reacting the solution or dispersion with an polyisocyanate.

The inclusion of a polymer containing rigid moieties in an active hydrogen-containing compound has surprisingly been found to yield significant and unexpected improvements in the physical properties of polyurethane and/or polyurea polymers prepared therefrom. In particular, cellular polyurethane and/or polyureas made from these solutions have excellent firmness and high moduli.

A hydrodynamic retarder is revealed having a rotor blade wheel and a stator blade wheel each with two different types of blading, i.e. an inner blading enclosed by an outer blading. The two blade rings are provided with blades inclined in opposite directions. This allows said retarder to be operated in both directions of rotation. A particularly advantageous development of the invention is that th...

In the embodiment depicted, the dynamometer is of an absorption type, for fluid, having fluid entries on both axial ends thereof, and a rotor having blades disposed, in a radial exit flow path, in parallel with the rotor axis. Adjustable, annular, blade shrouds, controlled simultaneously, expose more or less of the blade lengths to the radial exit fluid flow path.
